The scientists postulate that the Gusev rocks, with their significant 16 to 34 percent content of carbonates, were probably deposited from a carbonate-rich solution with a near neutral pH under hydrothermal conditions - similar to those obtained in the hot springs on Iceland and Spitzbergen - during a period of volcanic activity in the so-called Noachian epoch some 3.5 to 4.6 billion years ago.

Scientists have long known that flowing water formed many of the features seen on Mars today, but previous studies suggested that water runoff from precipitation had ceased after the first billion years of Mars 'history, called the Noachian Epoch.

One day the earth President's son begins a small trek to the Noachian epoch to research possible water deposits underneath the surface only to find himself gasping for consciousness when he accidentally crashed through the surface into an untapped natural water channel and begins to be unmercifully dragged by torrential currents through the tunnels.

Deists who accept only, e.g., “the ten commandments and the sermon on the mount” from the Bible, as John Adams put it, are obviously not going to feel bound by the tenets of young-earth creationism — the Creation account in Genesis not to speak of the Noachian Flood.
